00:00:19,776 --> 00:00:21,666
If you're like me and
you stickies to keep track
3
00:00:21,666 --> 00:00:24,066
of random bits of information
then this tid bit is certainly
4
00:00:24,066 --> 00:00:24,916
going to come in handy.
5
00:00:25,656 --> 00:00:29,146
As you can see I have 3 stickies
already in use keeping track
6
00:00:29,146 --> 00:00:31,846
of different information
but for the sake
7
00:00:31,846 --> 00:00:34,386
of example let's say I just
found a piece of information
8
00:00:34,386 --> 00:00:35,886
and I'd like to add
it to a sticky.
9
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:40,056
The traditional process goes
something like this: Step 1:
10
00:00:40,646 --> 00:00:41,766
Highlight the information.
11
00:00:42,936 --> 00:00:46,346
Step 2: Go to edit and copy.
12
00:00:47,096 --> 00:00:50,066
Step 3: Focus or open
the stickies application.
13
00:00:50,896 --> 00:00:54,256
Step 4: Go to file,
choose new note
14
00:00:55,136 --> 00:00:58,376
and finally step 5:
Go to edit and paste.
15
00:00:59,226 --> 00:01:01,406
We certainly could have
used some keyboard shortcuts
16
00:01:01,406 --> 00:01:04,556
to make things a tad quicker;
however it still would have
17
00:01:04,556 --> 00:01:06,266
at least been a 5 step process.
18
00:01:07,046 --> 00:01:09,626
Let's close this
note and do it again
19
00:01:09,626 --> 00:01:12,586
but this time I will show
you how to do the same thing
20
00:01:12,586 --> 00:01:14,606
in a simple 2 step process.
21
00:01:15,226 --> 00:01:17,106
First just like before we're
gonna highlight the information
22
00:01:17,106 --> 00:01:17,596
that we want.
23
00:01:18,066 --> 00:01:19,906
By the way this will
work with any text
24
00:01:19,906 --> 00:01:20,916
or image you can highlight.
25
00:01:21,406 --> 00:01:22,806
It'll also work even
26
00:01:22,806 --> 00:01:25,106
if the stickies application
isn't currently running.
27
00:01:26,896 --> 00:01:33,226
Second step: We hit command,
shift, Y on the keyboard.
28
00:01:34,466 --> 00:01:36,746
As you can see it created
a new note with the text
29
00:01:36,796 --> 00:01:39,226
that I highlighted
and in only two steps.
30
00:01:39,746 --> 00:01:40,756
Quick, simple and awesome.
31
00:01:40,936 --> 00:01:43,076
Just remember command, shift Y.
32
00:01:44,516 --> 00:01:50,010
